In the 1990’s Congress decided to disband the agency that oversaw moving agencies. Since there was no oversight, organized crime then began to move into the moving industry. Usually the moving company will seem really nice, give you a decent price, and then hold your possessions until you pay a ransom. If you want your possessions back you are basically forced to pay the ransom. How can you get a good mover then? If you work for a big company that has a contract with a mover, use them. Also, go to www.moving.org and hire a mover that is part of the “certified mover program.” Also, when you are talking about how much it will cost, ask for a binding estimate. If the word binding is not there, the estimate means absolutely nothing. So watch your back and follow these steps next time you move.
